Week 11...

This week's theme for the Deck of Me is "your initial". As you can see mine is an "h". For first and last, actually. I am one of those people who has two first names and therefore, cannot be trusted. Someone at the mortgage office told me this. Truth be told, he shouldn't be trusted either. And mostly because he's a broker!
The picture did not turn out too well of this card. I tweeked it in iPhoto a bit to get the colors to come out more correctly. But it just doesn't show the details too well. The stitching is gold rayon thread so it's shiny. And the alphabet paper is not nearly as washed out as it appears. The paper is all CTMH. I can't recall which kit.
This one didn't quite turn out as I had originally imagined. But this paper has been lying on the floor in my room for ages and I just love the colors in it. So I thought since tomorrow is spring that I would celebrate with these papers. I again used mostly scraps. Which I am trying to do with all my cards.

    Well I used to have 2 last names but now I only go by my married last name which makes things a LOT simpler : )
    Love your latest card creation, it's very happy and cheery. I look forward to your cards every week.
